Juvi’s excuse for missing this match is he’s been hired by AAA. I still do not believe this at all. Not exactly sure who would be hiring him. Konnan (who wouldn’t want to) is surely back in southern California. Dorian Roldan has been tweeting photos from a vacation in South American all weekend. Also, it’d be a peculiar time for AAA to hire someone when they’re not actually running any tapings. And their can’t be any hold ups about AAA guys working on this particular show, becuase there’s Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. in the semimain.

I can’t believe the internet trolled me into writing that paragraph. AGAIN.

Meanwhile, a news report says Niurka’s no-show was due to the always popular “fuerza mayor” (which translates to “we’re not telling you”) and fans were furious. Neither of the recaps were that concerned with it, but if the Monterrey show was any indication, there probably were a lot of casual fans who would be annoyed.

CMLL’s main television show is listed as returning to Galavision in the US this upcoming weekend. Same evening/repeat late night bit as it was before it disappeared the last two weeks. It’ll probably still be the show airing the same day in Mexico.

Ras de Lona is off 52MX (US version.) It’s been off the Mexico version of the channel for some time, only airing in the US as replacement programming for shows they don’t have the rights to in the US. They changed around the schedule to start the year. There’s a lot more airings of Guerreros del Ring (presumably to cover the same gaps), but they’ve apparently decided not to use one of those slots for the other CMLL show. Ras de Lona is still listed as airing on VivaSports, a Dish Network only channel operating by the same parent company (but one that apparently doesn’t post it’s shows online.) This is the same channel TNA is on.

CMLL really needs to post Ras de Lona on their website, if not include it in the shows people actually can watch. I’ve said this a million times already, and yet they’re going to keep building up matches on a show very few of their fans can or will see. It’s completely frustrating.
